Collaboration builds on a shared commitment to strengthening research capacity, supporting Indigenous self-determination, and creating lasting social, environmental, and economic benefits<\/h3>

October 21, 2026
Location: Vancouver<\/p>

Mitacs and Braiding Knowledges Canada (BKC) are partnering to support research training opportunities for post-secondary students and postdoctoral fellows to work alongside Indigenous communities, Knowledge Keepers, researchers, and organizations. Projects will span a range of community-driven initiatives focused on conservation, restoration, adaptation, and well-being.<\/p>

Through the training program, college, undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students, as well as postdoctoral fellows will gain experience in place-based, community-led research that braids together Indigenous and Western knowledge systems through respectful, reciprocal collaboration.<\/p>

The partnership will connect participants with Indigenous-led and co-led research initiatives across Canada, spanning areas such as environmental monitoring, biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, community-based research, wildlife management, Indigenous governance, and sustainable development. Participants will engage in hands-on learning opportunities while contributing to community priorities and building skills in ethical engagement, interdisciplinary research, and knowledge mobilization.<\/p>

In addition to project-based placements, students will participate in coordinated learning opportunities, including Braiding Knowledges Canada’s annual Knowledge Gathering, Indigenous Engagement and Partnership Development training. They will also join a national trainee webinar network designed to foster peer learning, mentorship, and professional growth.<\/p>

Through engagement with Mitacs and the Government of Canada, including Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), Braiding Knowledges Canada played a critical role in advocating for Indigenous governments to be formally recognized as eligible partners in Mitacs programs. BKC identified this as an important barrier to Indigenous-led research and strongly advocated for inclusion, helping to advance eligibility to First Nations, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis governments. This change creates new opportunities for Indigenous governments to provide partner support to research and training trainees.<\/p>

Quotes<\/strong><\/p>

“Canada’s future depends on bringing together diverse perspectives, knowledge systems, and ways of knowing. Through partnership with Braiding Knowledges Canada, students and postdoctoral fellows will work alongside Indigenous communities, Knowledge Keepers, researchers, and organizations to advance community-driven research and training, nurturing a generation of leaders who can respectfully braid Indigenous and Western knowledge.”<\/p>

\u2013 Dr. Stephen Lucas, CEO, Mitacs<\/strong><\/p>

“Braiding Knowledges Canada is committed to advancing Indigenous-led and place-based approaches that strengthen conservation, restoration, adaptation, and well-being. Now that Indigenous governments are eligible, all our partners can benefit from our collaboration with Mitacs. \u00a0Together, we will help trainees, researchers and leaders effectively braid Indigenous and Western knowledge systems in support of community priorities.”<\/p>

Mitacs et Renouer les savoirs Canada font \u00e9quipe pour faire avancer la r\u00e9conciliation par la recherche et la formation<\/h2>

La collaboration s\u2019appuie sur un engagement commun visant \u00e0 renforcer les capacit\u00e9s de recherche, \u00e0 soutenir l\u2019autod\u00e9termination des peuples autochtones et \u00e0 g\u00e9n\u00e9rer des retomb\u00e9es sociales, environnementales et \u00e9conomiques durables.<\/h3>

Emplacement : Vancouver<\/p>

Mitacs et Renouer les savoirs Canada (RSC) font \u00e9quipe pour soutenir les occasions de perfectionnement en recherche pour les \u00e9tudiantes et \u00e9tudiants de niveau postsecondaire et les chercheuses et chercheurs au postdoctorat, dans le cadre de projets r\u00e9alis\u00e9s en \u00e9troite collaboration avec les communaut\u00e9s, les Gardien\u00b7nes du savoir, les chercheur\u00b7euses et les organisations autochtones. Ces projets porteront sur un \u00e9ventail d\u2019initiatives men\u00e9es par les communaut\u00e9s, ax\u00e9es sur la conservation, la restauration, l\u2019adaptation et le bien-\u00eatre.<\/p>

Dans le cadre du programme de perfectionnement, les \u00e9tudiant\u00b7es de niveau coll\u00e9gial, au baccalaur\u00e9at, \u00e0 la ma\u00eetrise et au doctorat, ainsi que les chercheuses et chercheurs au postdoctorat, acquerront de l\u2019exp\u00e9rience en recherche ancr\u00e9e dans le territoire et men\u00e9e par les communaut\u00e9s qui conjuguent les syst\u00e8mes de savoirs autochtones et occidentaux gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une collaboration respectueuse et r\u00e9ciproque.<\/p>

Le partenariat permettra aux personnes participantes de contribuer \u00e0 des initiatives de recherche dirig\u00e9es ou codirig\u00e9es par les peuples autochtones partout au Canada, couvrant divers enjeux et domaines\u00a0: surveillance environnementale, conservation de la biodiversit\u00e9, adaptation aux changements climatiques, recherche ax\u00e9e sur la communaut\u00e9, gestion de la faune, gouvernance autochtone et d\u00e9veloppement durable. Ces personnes pourront tirer parti d’occasions pratiques d\u2019apprentissage tout en contribuant aux priorit\u00e9s de la communaut\u00e9 et en d\u00e9veloppant des comp\u00e9tences d\u2019interaction \u00e9thique, de recherche interdisciplinaire et de mobilisation du savoir.<\/p>

En plus des stages r\u00e9alis\u00e9s dans le cadre de projets, les \u00e9tudiants participeront \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s de formation coordonn\u00e9es, notamment au \u00ab Rassemblement Renouer les savoirs \u00bb annuel, ainsi qu\u2019aux formations sur l\u2019engagement autochtone et le d\u00e9veloppement de partenariats offertes par RSC. Ils se joindront \u00e9galement \u00e0 un r\u00e9seau national de webinaires destin\u00e9 aux stagiaires, qui favorisera l\u2019apprentissage entre pairs, le mentorat et le d\u00e9veloppement professionnel.<\/p>

Dans le cadre de son engagement avec Mitacs et le gouvernement du Canada, notamment Innovation, Sciences et D\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique Canada (ISDE), RSC a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le important en plaidant pour que les gouvernements autochtones soient officiellement reconnus comme partenaires admissibles aux programmes de Mitacs. L\u2019organisme a relev\u00e9 cet obstacle comme un frein important \u00e0 la recherche men\u00e9e par les Autochtones et a r\u00e9clam\u00e9 leur inclusion, contribuant ainsi \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9largissement de l\u2019admissibilit\u00e9 aux gouvernements inuits, m\u00e9tis et des Premi\u00e8res Nations. Ce changement cr\u00e9e de nouvelles opportunit\u00e9s qui permettront aux gouvernements autochtones de soutenir la recherche et le perfectionnement des stagiaires.<\/p>
